I actually don't like that picture so much because it's just a collage of a bunch of pictures of different parts of the Quad during the rally. I'm in one of them, and if you remember where I was in the other one it shouldn't be too hard to find me. This whole thing has been so crazy, and now that i've read it, i'm not that afraid anymore.

The highlighted part is what I said, although oddly enough two people were quoted after me who spoke before me, and reading over what they said and thinking about it now after everything...i wasn't shaking and in tears this time. I was remembering that and remembering how I was, and I don't want to be like that anymore. Anyway, I don't know how many of you can read that, so here's what the highlighted part in that picture says:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The crowd listened as HSU freshman Jennifer Ruiz gave details of her encounter with her high school boyfriend, who she said was given six months probation after repeatedly raping her. Her main concern was the Counseling Center, [that's actually not true, but I can live with it] which she said turned her away when she sought help last September.

Ruiz said they turned her away for being 'too sick,' because they don't deal with long-term psychological problems. However, throughout the walkout, organizers announced that the Counseling Center was offering services for those who needed help.

'Why did it take for another person to get fucked up for the rest of their lives to realize that maybe they shouldn't be turning people away?' she asked the crowd in tears. [I actually wasn't crying, but i was pretty close.]

'You want to know how to make change? Start with legislation and bureaucracy like the one over there,' she said, pointing at the Health Center.

The Counseling Center wasn't able to comment by deadline."

Luckily, it turns out that the Lumberjack does have a website, so here are the links to both that article and that section in gray that you see off to the right in that top picture incase you want to read that and the whole article. It won't let me just copy and past them. It's crazy, I remember how Willa saying that we should talk about our experiences filled me with such fear and I started crying, and then not even an hour later that's just what I did.

Article that I'm quoted in

Gray thing on the right

I really recomend that you read both. I don't know how many people actually read the Lumberjack, but I don't think that many I know do. Anyway, I have some things I need to accomplish today. Thanx for being there. <3
